Do mental health care clinicians in Tampa, Florida accept insurance?

Calculating the exact amount of coverage will be based on the plan details and whether the selected mental health clinician is in-network or out-of-network. LifeStance is in-network with most insurance plans in Florida, so you’ll pay only a copay at each session after meeting your annual deductible.

If you have an HMO, EPO, or Medicaid/Medicare plan that LifeStance is out of network with, you likely cannot receive a reimbursement and would be responsible for the full out-of-network session fee.
